A Run through the Hickories

The EG Race, "A Run Through the Hickories" on Saturday is on:) If 117 is still out use the road near the store to go over the hill. I just did and it was fine

If you live out of our area, you may not know that we got hit with major flooding. I am out of town at the moment but I should be back home later today. I hear 117 is closed at the moment but hopefully it will reopen today. Watch for a post to see if we will be able to have the race on Saturday. I really hope we can:)

On August 21st the 5K A Run Through the Hickories runners will explode off the line in the hills of the Young Hickory. The race is $15 with awards for 1st 3rd in many age groups. A trophy for the overall male and female winner will be handed out as well. The 5K benefits the Ellis Grist Youth Center which hosts Awana for ages 4 years old sixth grade (Mondays through the school year), Word of Life Youth Group for 7th 12th (Thursdays year around), a Christian college ...and career group, and Special family and church activities. Registration will be from 7:15-8:00 am, with walkers going at 8:10 am and runners at 8:20 am. The course is primarily a dirt road with some hill in it. NEW this year!!! *** Little runner 400! At 8:00 am children from 3 9 years old will get to do a 400 meter run (a quarter of a mile). All kids will get a candy bar and a prize from Miss Gail’s prize case. Winning kid gets a medallion (and candy too:) Gail Essigmann, veteran timer of many 5Ks and Section V cross country meets will be on hand to do the timing. Come out for a great race for a good cause!
